    Hi there,

    Just starting using simple invoices and all is well so far except...........

    I need to activate the authorisation function. I have found the description of how to do this, but with my non existent knowledge of sql I do not fully grasp it. For example :Run this sql-querie in phpmyadmin - I don't know how to do that. Is there a more detailed exact step by step example somewhere for dummies like me?

    I run this under windows by the way, not sure if that is relevant but I thought I'd mention it.

    Thanks a lot,

    Theo

    Hey Theo

    If your using the latest release of Simple Invoices all you have to do now is open config/config.php and change

    from

    //$authenticationOn = "true";
    $authenticationOn = "false";

    to

    $authenticationOn = "true";
    //$authenticationOn = "false";

    Cheers

    hmmm

    sometimes happens if youve edited the config or auth file and left some whitespace at the end of the file after ?>

    if youve edited the auth file you may want to restore it from the zip you downloaded

    Cheers

    Hey Theo

    im running out of idea - anyone else got the same errors?

    you might want to read up on using .htaccess to protect your Simple Invoices as the auth system doesnt seem to like you :)

    Cheers

    i just got authentication working by following this wiki faq entry -
    http://simpleinvoices.org/wiki/doku.php?id=how_do_i_enable_authentification_ie_a_login_system_in_simple_invoices
    (note that the tables, etc, already existed)
    all i had to do was

    change false to true in config/config.php
    download the md5.js, put in correct dir
    login.php was already set to correct value (line 164 though)

    i changed the demo username, email address via phpmyadmin to my email, username, so now i log in with my email address and demo as password. anyone know how to change the passwords?

    Hi Cliff,

    re changing usernames and password
    - open up phpmyadmin
    - go to the users table and edit the user
    - on the password fields make sure you select MD5 from the drop down list and enter the password
    -- this will save the passwords md5 in the db and you should be able to login using the password you entered

    Cheers
